Movie Reviews of Wanted (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: Ten years to late
Summary: 3 Stars

If you go into this movie with realistic expectations you should not be dissappointed. The plot is pretty simple and very easy to follow. The actors are very good, Angela Jolie shows in this movie that she likes taking on roles that give her chance to do something besides be eye-candy. Morgan Freeman plays a role you don't see him play very often, and the supporting cast is good(Common is excellent).

The action is great, the idea of curving a bullet is cool.

BUT

I couldn't help but think through the whole movie, "this kind of movie has been done so many times, I'm bored with it." You can take the F/X from this movie and you won't see anything that hasn't been done and in some cases done better in the last several years. I guess I'm saying all this is, is recycled action movie, which if that's what you're looking for you'll like. BUT if you're searching for something that you won't forget any time soon pass on this movie.

Summary of Wanted (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Genre: Action/Adventure
Rating: R
Release Date: 2-DEC-2008
Media Type: DVD

As the impresario behind gravity-defying Russian blockbuster Night Watch, it's inevitable that Hollywood would come calling for Timur Bekmambetov. With a studio budget and an international cast, including two Oscar winners, Timur cooks up a Hong Kong-styled actioner bursting with fast cars and big guns. Our unlikely hero is mild-mannered Chicago accountant Wesley Gibson (Atonement's James McAvoy), whose father died when he was a tot. Wesley never learned to stand up for himself, and his girlfriend, boss, and best buddy all take advantage until the seductive Fox (Angelina Jolie) rescues him from a sharpshooter named Cross (The Pianist's Thomas Kretschmann). After which, she whisks him away to a mansion on the edge of town to meet the other members of the Fraternity, where leader Sloan (Morgan Freeman) informs Wesley that Cross, a rogue agent, executed his father. Sloan believes Wesley has the goods to take him out, so he undergoes the Fraternity's brutal training regimen (Marc Warren and Common dish up some of the abuse). When he's ready, Sloan sends him out to fulfill his duty, but matters become complicated when Wesley finds out someone isn't telling the truth, leading our former milquetoast to exact an elaborate revenge. For those who've been following McAvoy's career to date, Wanted will surely come as a surprise. In adapting Mark Millar's comic series, Timur offers buckets of blood and a smidgen of depth, but fans of The Matrix and Mr. and Mrs. Smith will want to give this one a look. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
